Considering QoL Improvement: Add Auto-Select Option for Stones when Refining Ore (+0 to +3)

Hello everyone,

I’d like to suggest a small but very impactful quality-of-life change for the ore-refining system.

Current Problem: Right now, every single time you refine normal ore into refined ore, the game forces you to manually click and select a stone (+0 to +3) from your inventory. When you’re refining dozens or even hundreds of ores (which is required for the next stages of pickaxe crafting), this becomes extremely repetitive and time-consuming. You have to sit there clicking the same window over and over again. It’s literally one extra unnecessary step every single time, even though the stone you use doesn’t matter at all for the result (it’s always just a random low-level stone anyway).


Comparison with Refined Diamond: We already have a perfect example of how smooth refining can be: when you refine diamonds, the system doesn’t need any stone at all, so no extra selection window opens. It’s fast, fluent, and feels good. Ore refining should work the same way we do need a stone, but it shouldn’t force a manual click every time.

Proposed Solution: Please add one of these two options (or both):

  1. A checkbox/toggle in the refining window called “Auto-use random stone (+0 ~ +3)” When ticked, the system automatically grabs any available +0 to +3 stone from your inventory and proceeds without asking.
  2. Or simply make it automatic by default (no manual selection), with an option to disable it if someone really wants to choose manually.

This change would only affect the refining process and wouldn’t change any success rates, costs, or mechanics it’s pure QoL.

Why this matters: Mining and ore refining is already a big time investment. For players who enjoy the mining/crafting loop (or need lots of refined ores for pickaxes), this tiny annoyance adds up to hours of unnecessary clicking. Removing it would make the entire crafting experience feel much more fluent and enjoyable for every miner on the server.

Thanks for reading! I believe this is a very easy change that would be appreciated by the whole community.


What do you guys think? Any other miners out there who are tired of the endless stone selection clicks? 😄

Best regards,

+1 really annoying especially when you have huge amounts of ores to refine. They didn't come through with the Vitality Ore craft yet, hope they can do something about this. Or at least make it like Frozen Sapphire crafts, a pop up window and just click the ores and it automatically deducts the ores from your inventory and the stones

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion, we appreciate you sharing it. I’ll move this to Considering for now. As mentioned in previous threads, we’re currently prioritizing ongoing content and earlier suggestions, so we need to slow down the rate at which new suggestions are accepted. We’ll revisit this topic and provide an update once it’s been further discussed.

Warm wishes,
Essence.
